djpretzel Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Five New Summer 2010 Mascots Added! Vote for 10 More - Cutoff is June 21! Juri (ssf4), Shepherd (Mass Effect), Fei Long (HDR), Scrooge McDuck (Ducktales), and T. Hawk (HDR) have all been added. UPDATED - VOTING! I'll be adding the Blue Tap Runner since I said I would, so I'm not including it. There were some great suggestions but I had to boil the list down a bit. A vb poll really won't work since I think we need everyone to indicate their first, second, and third preferences. So just respond to this thread and hopefully someone can help me tally votes? When you vote, reply with your first, second, and third preferences from the list. For example, here is my vote: Joe Musashi Phoenix Wright Guybrush Threepwood And here is the list to select from - I know it's not EVERYTHING that was proposed, but I think I hit most of the ones that were more popular, less represented currently, and have mixes, more or less. Axl (MMX) Bartz "Butz" Klauser Bill Rizer (Contra) Companion Cube Conker Dr. Light Faize (Star Ocean 4) Goemon Guybrush Threepwood Hakan Heavy (TF2) Heroes of Newerth (weird owl thing) Joe Musashi Kefka LeChuck Luna (Lunar Series) Makoto Master Chief Nathan "Rad" Spencer (Bionic Commando) Phoenix Wright Q*Bert Rayman Red from Pokémon Rygar Sazh Katzroy Zero Zidane Your first selection gets three points, your second two, and your third one, then we tally the points and go with the top ten. If someone wants to step up and take the lead on tracking votes in a separate reply, I'd be very grateful! We need to get moving so voting will be cut off on the night of June 21, and the new mascots will be added soon after that. Also, great work on the suggestions - if they didn't make the first cut or they don't get votes, there's always next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dj Mokram Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Haven't seen it listed in the mascots list, so I'd like to suggest Nathan "Rad" Spencer from Bionic Commando. Either the old sprite or the modern one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Axl. With Maverick Rising on the way, I think it would be fitting...here's an image. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/dakirbymaster/x8_axl3d.jpg If not, then Zero. I'll write the bios if any of these characters are picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I second Sazh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbu Frahma Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 *Dart Feld and/or Rose from Legend of Dragoon. (I KNOW no one's going to agree with that one, but it had to be said.) *Locke and/or Celes from Final Fantasy 6. *Ramza Beoulve and/or Agrias Oaks from Final Fantasy Tactics. *Zidane and/or Princess Garnet from Final Fantasy 9. Yeah, my suggestions are admittedly Final Fantasy heavy. *shrugs* Take 'em if you want, I don't much care... although I really do think Zidane'd be a good choice.

Tex Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 OCR has Shinobi mixes from the very beginning, so I guess Joe Musashi deserves his own spot. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2844/549038.jpg Also echoing Guybrush Threepwood and Makoto.

Brandon Strader Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I third Sazh, but it HAS to be the picture with Choco-fro -- http://girlsofwar.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/ff13-sazh-katzroy.jpg ..... Star Ocean 4: Edge Maverick, Reimi Saionji, but preferably Faize (no he's not that much taller, they're different pictures) ........... Juto, MagnaCarta 2 ............ Tomba! -- Tomba, and a pig .............. Everyone's favorite black post-apocalyptic businessman! .............. Worms series: This is a uh, ... worm. Also if I can, I'd like to take one vote AWAY from Hakan. Last thing I want when visiting a website is to see half-naked oiled up men.

Dhsu Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I really feel it's about time we get characters from Clan OCR games. Team Fortress 2: More here. Heroes of Newerth: More here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROTO·DOME Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I vote Red from Pokémon. C'mon, this has to be done at SOME point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I second Louis and The Heavy and Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealPath Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Definitely would like to see some TF2 characters, the Heavy as proposed above would work fine! Maybe some of the later FF game characters with no current representation would work as well, just very randomly I'm going to say take Fran from FFXII and (since everyone seems to love him) Sazh from FFXIII.

Palpable Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 This is predictable for me but Goemon would be awesome. Zero or Dr. Light would be great additions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biznut Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Zero. Absolutely. Zero or Dr. Light would be great additions too. Zero, again, absolutely. Dr. Light is a strongly agree too. *Locke and/or Celes from Final Fantasy 6. Very Yes. *Zidane and/or Princess Garnet from Final Fantasy 9. VERY Yes. *Ramza Beoulve and/or Agrias Oaks from Final Fantasy Tactics. VERY Yes!!! Though Ramza really should be the first choice here. Apart from these hearty agreements I'll propose Sigma from the MMX series, Luna from the Lunar Series, and Flik from Suikoden 1 and 2.

A-RoN Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I echo my vote for Zidane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbu Frahma Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I vote Red from Pokémon. C'mon, this has to be done at SOME point. In addition to my previous submissions, I'd like to second this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.B. Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 All of the following games are without a mascot. Listed as: suggested character - game appearances...... links to official pictures (no fan art) with white background (unless otherwise noted). *Cecil Harvey - Final Fantasy IV and related...... cg paladin standing in DS remake, cg dark knight standing in DS remake, art paladin standing, art dark knight standing, Giant Bomb gallery Bill Rizer - Contra(s)...... Neo Contra - cg standing; Contra III - Lance and Bill (small pic, dark background)... it's hard to find full-body art; I tried but couldn't find suitable character art from Contra 4 (which would be awesome to have) Quote - Cave Story...... the only thing suitable seems to be fan art, though a pic from one of the endings could likely be cropped and made to work Sarah Kerrigan - StarCraft series...... art infested kneeling, non-white-background pics at StarCraft Wiki and Giant Bomb Master Chief - Halo series...... Halo 2 - cg standing; Halo 3 - cg standing 1, cg standing 2, cg standing 3, cg standing 4, cg standing 5; non-white-background pics at Giant Bomb gallery and Creative Uncut, Halo 3 gallery JC Denton - Deus Ex...... can't find any official full-body art or good cg, only game-generated: cg standing (poor qual; black background) Manny Calavera - Grim Fandango...... no good-qual pics, could probably crop an in-game pic: cg suit standing, cg pea coat standing (meh qual; non-white, game backgrounds) Lenneth Valkyrie (/Platina) - Valkyrie Profile series...... VP1 - art standing (iconic pose; sleeve art); VP2 - cg standing 1, cg standing 2 (floating?) Harry Mason - Silent Hill(s)...... SH1 - cg standing Conker The Squirrel - Conker's Bad Fur Day (and remake)...... cg standing 1, cg standing 2 *Jack van Burace - Wild Arms (and remake)...... art standing Ashley Riot - Vagrant Story...... art standing (right leg is unfinished) Jade - Beyond Good & Evil...... can't find any official full-body art or good cg Wander - Shadow Of The Colossus...... can't find any official full-body art or good cg Rena Lanford - Star Ocean(s) (first appears in SO2)...... SO2 - cg standing (iconic pose; dark background); SO2 remake - cg standing; SO Blue Sphere - cg standing 1, cg standing 2 *Nights - NiGHTS series...... NID - cg prancing, cg flying; JOD: cg prancing 1, cg prancing 2 Chaz Ashley - Phantasy Star IV (and remake)...... can't find any official full-body art or good cg *Maxim - Lufia and Lufia II...... art standing 1, art standing 2 KOS-MOS - Xenosaga trilogy...... X1 - cg standing (black background); X2 - cg standing; X3 - cg standing, cg version 4 standing 1 (same pic with different colors), cg version 4 standing 2 Steelie - Marble Madness Ark - Terranigma Splinter or Shredder or Donatello - many games James Bond - many games Sly Cooper - Sly Cooper trilogy Shinra - Ikaruga Gordon Freeman - Half-Life series Ratchet - Ratchet & Clank series Developed and prioritized based on a combination of personal preference and notability. All but the last four games/series have at least one remix (moved them to the bottom for this reason alone). Asterisk was given to games that have/will have an OCR album (but do not yet have a mascot). Wolverine would also be kickass but I left him off the list since there are already X-Men mascots. I'll edit this later this weekend with pic links (edit: done). Fully agreeing with Joe Musashi, Guybrush Threepwood, and a TF2 char, in that order. Nathan Spencer and Rayman would be good candidates as well. Edit: AUGH! Fully agreeing with Nathan Spencer as well since there is a freaking remix project on Bionic Commando. Man, I need to stay up with the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Wouldn't it be more ideal to have a lot more mascots? I mean adding 5 is nice, but there's probably people who would donate their time to writing up and getting moar mascots on here. I know I've seen that angry punching bag about 20 times, and Tidus about 7. It does a pretty good job of randomizing them but there's just not enough mascots. This is what I saw as soon as I posted that and the page refreshed. DAMN IT!! STOP HAUNTING ME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Koopa Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 "Why am I not a mascot yet?" Here's a better picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbu Frahma Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 *Cecil Harvey - Final Fantasy IVBill Rizer - Contra(s) Quote - Cave Story JC Denton - Deus Ex Manny Calavera - Grim Fandango Lenneth Valkyrie (/Platina) - Valkyrie Profile series Harry Mason - Silent Hill Ashley Riot - Vagrant Story *Jack van Burace - Wild Arms Jade - Beyond Good & Evil Rena Lanford - Star Ocean, The Second Story KOS-MOS - Xenosaga trilogy Wander - Shadow Of The Colossus Sly Cooper - Sly Cooper trilogy Steelie - Marble Madness *Maxim - Lufia 2: Rise Of The Sinistrals Ratchet - Ratchet & Clank series Ark - Terranigma Shinra - Ikaruga Wolverine - many games Donatello - many games Prioritized based on personal preference. Asterisk given to characters from games that have/will have an OCR album but do not yet have a mascot. I'll edit this later this weekend with pic links. Also fully agreeing with a TF2 char, a LoN char, Joe Musashi, Guybrush Threepwood, and Celes. Not to be a naysayer or anything, but doesn't FFIV have Rydia roaming around here somewhere? I could swear I see her in her adult form all the time. And also, I'd love to see Ashley Riot as well as you, K.B., I just didn't think they could find a decent enough image. EDIT: I'll be darned. I went and checked, and you're right. Ok, I can also back up a vote for Cecil, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
